| Credits : | Traditional |
| Appears On : | Seinn! O Ho Ro Seinn! |
| Language : | Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) |
| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Fàill ill o agus ho ro èile | Faill ill o agus ho ro eile |
| Fàill ill o agus ho ro èile | Faill ill o agus ho ro eile |
| Fàill ill o agus ho ro èile | Faill ill o agus ho ro eile |
| A fhleasgaich dhuinn nach ann duinn a dh'èirich | Brown-haired youth, what a thing befell us |
| Saoil sibh fhèin nach mi bha truagh dheth | Do you think that I was a poor soul |
| Feasgar foghair air achadh bhuana | On an autumn evening in the harvest field? |
| A h-uile tè 's a fear fhèin ri guallainn | Every woman with her man at her shoulder |
| 'S mo leannan donn-sa air bhàrr nan cuantan | And my brown-haired love on the ocean |
| Shiùibhlinn, shiùibhlinn, shiùibhlinn fhèin leat | I would travel, travel, travel with you |
| Shiùibhlinn fada troimh choill nan geug leat | I would travel far through the woods with you |
| 'S nuair bha mi òg mi air bheagan cèille | When I was young and had little sense |
| Gur e do ghaol-sa a rinn mo lèireadh | It was your love that wounded me |
| Gheall mo mhàthair fàinne òir dhomh | My mother promised me a gold ring |
| Gheall m'athair buaile bhò dhomh | My father promised me a fold of cattle |
| 'S ged gheibhinn siud is an saoghal mòr leis | Though I'd get that and the whole world with it |
| Is mòr gum b'annsa leam gaol an òigeir | I would far rather have the young man's love |
| Fàill ill o agus ho ro èile | Faill ill o agus ho ro eile |
| Fàill ill o agus ho ro èile | Faill ill o agus ho ro eile |
| Fàill ill o agus ho ro èile | Faill ill o agus ho ro eile |
| A fhleasgaich dhuinn nach ann duinn a dh'èirich | Brown-haired youth, what a thing befell us |
